World of Warcraft Player Reaches Level 90 Without Choosing a Faction

Incorrect. No one ever hit a previous level cap with a neutral character. Pandas were only added in the most recent expansion, and the level cap for this expansion is 90. This is a world first. Congrats to him.Antitonic said:So it's really "WoW Player reaches new level cap with existing character." That's much less impressive.
Technically, he never reached the level cap until now. He reached what was previously the old level cap, which is still impressive. It's not like he just had a level 60 lying around and then suddenly got all the expansions. (For anyone who doesn't know, Kung-Fu-Pandaren were added along with the level cap increase to 90)Antitonic said:Escapist says yes: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/126640-WoW-Player-Hits-Level-60-Without-Picking-a-FactionEve Charm said:

I remember hearing once that when an expansion came out in WoW, the experience needed to go from the old level cap to the new one is the same as from level 1 to the old level cap (I have no idea if this is true beyond when Burning Crusade first came out). If it does hold true, he's gonna be at it a while getting to 100 when WoD comes out.
This seems like an extension of the [URL="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LordBritishPostulate" ]Lord British Posulate[/URL]. We need a rule for more general things though, like what this guy did (since he didn't murder a non-murderable NPC).
You could have also put down the 60 bucks and saved yourself two years and $300 worth of tedium.
Wow, what a horrible waste of time. I seriously feel sorry for them if they really put that much time into it. Sure it's an achievement but not one that they should be proud of.
A waste of time for you, surely.. me? yes it would also be. But not your or anyone else's place to say it's a waste of his time, and tell him he shouldn't be proud of his accomplishment.Granfaloon said:
You don't know him, don't know his life, or his mental or physical situation. Give the guy a break, and grow the fuck up. If it doesn't interest you, then stay away, don't insult random people because something doesn't gel with you if they aren't hurting anyone.
Fuck me, the arrogance of people and their complete disregard for civility and modesty astounds me.
At least he... had fun? I'm guessing he has other characters to play the rest of the game with, otherwise he must be sick to death of that starting area.
Eh... it's his money and time. If this was what made him happy, that's cool I guess...
I suppose it's no different than the (literally) hundreds of times I run Brayflox's Longstop Hard Mode a week in order to gear up a class in Final Fantasy XIV. My roommate cannot fathom why I would do this, although she is not at the end-game yet and doesn't quite understand that it's the fastest way to farm Myth and Soldiery tomestones to acquire aforementioned gear.

Cool. I was pretty annoyed when I found out that pandas were required to pick a side after a certain point (waste of a "neutral" faction, I thought), so something like this?
Such an incredibly patient act of passive-aggression takes a running leap at the wall of pointless, only to vault over into something awesome. I unsarcastically salute you, sir!

I feel Blizzard will make a one-off Feat of Strenght or Achievement for this guy.
Probably with a Title, Mount or Companion pet to go along with that.

Quite a long time, but the number of mining/herb drops in The Wandering Isle is distressingly high and they respawn quite frequently. I managed to get one of my Pandaren to level 10 by the time you're supposed to be level 6 because of it. If he tried it in any other starting zone he'd be in for an even longer haul.rofltehcat said:
OT: I certainly hope he's get something for the effort.
Good lord, I know a lot of escapist users like to pretend they have the whole "cool intellectual cynic" shtick but there comes a point when you just appear bitter and miserable. I don't see how this particular instance is any more a waste of time than any and all time sunk into any game ever.
Agreed.Carsus Tyrell said:
"Why bother?"
"Because I can."
Good enough for me. It isn't doing any harm and people say a lot of the Pokemon stuff I do isn't worth the time and effort. I have fun my way, he does his. That's fine.
Dunno how he is going to do more in warlords as he'll still be in the starting area - total waste of time dedication or not.
Rewarding him for not completing content that has been painstakingly created by the devs over a series of long years seems stupid at best.
Would have been annoying for any new players, with a high level character nicking all the ore/herbs whilst they are trying to level up too.
